New York City is proposing four sites across three boroughs for Amazon's HQ2: Midtown West and the Financial District in Manhattan, the Brooklyn Tech Triangle, and Long Island City in Queens. Collectively, the proposed areas span 62.5 million square feet.

... and 8.5 million square feet of potential space in the Financial District in Lower Manhattan.

Finally, there is over 15 million square feet available for HQ2 in the Brooklyn Tech Triangle.

The Brooklyn Tech Triangle includes Dumbo, the Brooklyn Navy Yards, and Downtown Brooklyn.

Though the bid doesn't include specific design plans for any of the proposed sites, it does tout NYC's many advantages, including a large and diverse population, and access to multiple airports and mass transit (despite recent subway problems).

Unlike several other cities, NYC is not offering any special tax incentives, beyond those already available to companies.

In the bid, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote a letter to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, expressing enthusiasm for the possibility of HQ2 coming to the city. But on bid day at a Brooklyn town hall meeting, de Blasio said Amazon is "very destructive" to local communities and businesses.

Amazon already has a large footprint in the city. In September, the company signed leases for seven floors of a Manhattan West Tower and a 855,000-square-foot distribution center in Staten Island.

The city's proposal has some critics. Eight local community organizations have signed an open letter to Bezos, demanding that the company invest in its chosen city's workers, transportation infrastructure, and housing.
